Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photothermal response twin information anti-counterfeiting and encryption, and in particular to a photothermal response twin information anti-counterfeiting encryption method. Background Art

[0002] With the development of information technology in recent years, information security issues such as data leakage and forgery have gradually emerged in the private, commercial and military fields. These challenges have brought significant risks to personal safety, financial stability and national security. Existing anti-counterfeiting technologies usually have a single way of obtaining information, which can easily be obtained by attackers, causing major information leakage accidents. Therefore, the development of advanced anti-counterfeiting materials and encryption technologies has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0003] Photochromic materials have become promising candidate materials for information encryption because they can display different colors in response to external stimuli through reversible isomerization, cyclization or cycloaddition reactions. Among them, triarylethene derivatives have attracted great interest in the scientific community in recent years due to their simple chemical structure, high sensitivity and rapid response. However, most existing triarylethene materials only respond to ultraviolet rays, and this single information acquisition method is not suitable for anti-counterfeiting technology. In order to prevent information theft and forgery, using multiple stimuli as keys for decrypting information has gradually become an effective strategy.

[0004] Thermal activation is a low-cost, easy-to-operate method that can be controlled in situ on large and nanoscale surfaces. At the same time, temperature can change the stacking form of molecules inside the material, regulate weak interactions between molecules, and is expected to achieve reversible photochemical switching under thermal stimulation. In addition, triphenylethylene exhibits aggregation-induced emission activity, which can realize light-controlled dual-channel signals. However, the photofluorescence of triphenylethylene molecules usually only involves the switching of fluorescence intensity. This limitation causes triphenylethylene derivatives to only record a single type of information under different optical modes. In contrast, displaying twin information on different optical channels can significantly increase information storage capacity, enhance anti-counterfeiting technology, and improve encryption security levels. However, independently displaying different information in different optical channels still faces great challenges. Therefore, the present invention proposes a photothermal response twin information anti-counterfeiting encryption method to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the invention

[0014] A further improvement is that the wetting agent is glycerin, the solvent is water, the connecting material is a water-based dispersible resin, and the water-based dispersible resin is one of polyurethane resin, acrylic resin and alkyd resin.

[0015] A further improvement is that the substrate is one of paper, film, plastic, glass and fiber cloth, and the thickness of the thin film sample formed on the substrate is 0.6-10 μm.

[0016] A further improvement is that the response light band of the ultraviolet light is 254-365nm.

[0017] A further improvement is that the specific method of preparing the film sample with color-changing function is: patterning is performed using mask printing, and the film is placed in a light-proof environment at room temperature for 10 to 14 hours, wherein the room temperature is 25 to 30°C.

[0018] A further improvement is that in said S4, during decryption, the photochromic information and the photofluorescent color changing information of the film sample combination at different temperatures are recorded, and the recorded information and the document with the decoding rules are combined into an encryption device.

[0019] A further improvement is that in S4, different film samples are arranged in order and combined into a whole, the states of sample color change and non-appearance are respectively corresponded to 0 and 1 combinations and converted into digital numbers using binary system, different states have different numbers, different passwords are obtained by combining the photochromic and photofluorescent color change state information at different temperatures, and different photochromic and photofluorescent color change information at different temperatures are combined according to the decoding document to obtain different password information.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: a photothermal response twin information anti-counterfeiting encryption method provided by the present invention utilizes the change in the arrangement of aggregated molecules before and after heating of functional molecules to regulate the intermolecular forces and achieve photochromic and photofluorescent color change.

[0034]

[0035] The melting point was 78.7°C and the glass transition temperature was -2.4°C as measured by DSC (differential scanning calorimetry). The decomposition temperature was 323°C as measured by thermogravimetric analysis.

At the same time, the fluorescence of the functional molecule changed from the original blue fluorescence to fluorescence quenching. Figure 2 When heated to 78.7°C, it shows an orange rose after being irradiated with ultraviolet light, and the fluorescence is quenched, indicating that it is a true label.

The thickness was 10 μm, and it was dried at 25°C in the dark for 14 hours.

[0048] Step 3: Authenticity Identification Process

[0050] Embodiment 3

[0051] according to Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a photothermal response twin information anti-counterfeiting encryption method, comprising the following steps:

At the same time, the fluorescence of the functional molecule changed from the original blue-purple fluorescence to sky blue fluorescence. Figure 4 When heated to 101.1℃, it shows orange chrysanthemum after being irradiated with ultraviolet light, and the fluorescence changes from blue-purple to sky blue, indicating that it is a genuine label.

[0060] Embodiment 4

After irradiation with 365nm ultraviolet light, two orange flowers appear on the substrate, and the substrate now displays the pattern of flower stems and leaves through fluorescence. The flower pattern is continued to be heated to 78.7°C on the hot table. After irradiation with ultraviolet light, a pattern of two flowers and flower stems appears on the substrate, while only the pattern of blue-purple flowers and leaves is displayed in the fluorescent state. The hot state is continued to be heated to 101.1°C. After irradiation with ultraviolet light, a complete flower, including flowers, flower stems and leaves, appears on the substrate, while only the pattern of sky blue flowers and leaves is displayed in the fluorescent state. There are 6 pattern states at different temperatures. The combinations of 0 and 1 corresponding to these states can be converted into numbers using binary, and the numbers are different for different states. As the temperature rises, the change process of the pattern is regarded as a code book. Different decoding methods can obtain different codes, thereby completing the encrypted storage of information.

[0073] On a fiber cloth substrate, with four numbers "8888" as a mask template, using the preparation methods of the anti-counterfeiting labels of Example 1, Example 2 and Example 3, a brush was used to dip the functional molecules of Example 1, Example 2 and Example 3, respectively, and applied to different parts of the number "8888", with a thickness of 9.0 μm for each part, and dried at 25°C away from light for 14 hours.

The digital pattern is continued to be heated to 78.7°C on the hot table. After irradiation with ultraviolet light, the orange number "3113" appears on the substrate, and the fluorescence shows a bluish-purple combination of numbers and letters "1EE1". The hot state is continued to be heated to 101.1°C. After irradiation with ultraviolet light, the orange number "8888" appears on the substrate, and in the fluorescent state it is displayed as a sky blue "1EE1". There are a total of 6 pattern states at different temperatures, and the 6 different states are encoded as a, b, c, d, e, and f respectively. According to the decoding document, different password information can be obtained, thereby completing the encryption and storage of information, such as Figure 8 shown.
